Michael Young, the guiding force in the Rangers clubhouse and on the field for the last decade as the team stormed to prominence, has indicated a willingness to accept a trade that will send him to Philadelphia, according to two major league sources.

The Rangers will receive 25-year-old RHP Josh Lindblom and a minor leaguer, believed to be 22-year-old RHP Lisalverto Bonilla. Lindblom would definitely go into the Rangers’ bullpen as a sixth-inning or later option. Bonilla, who had 64 strikeouts in 46.1 innings split between Class A and Double-A in 2012, would likely not be an option for the major league club at the start of the season.

This is worth the risk for the Phillies. Third Base Market is so barren this Offseason.
Young had just a terrible season but with a fresh start and more time in the field can bounce back to form.
